Dr. Joan Vernikos former director of NASA's Life Sciences Division and author of Sitting Kills, Moving Heals. This new expanded edition of the bestselling Move Your DNA features an exercise glossary and a three-level exercise program. Accessible and fascinating, Move Your DNA is a game-changer in the world of health, fitness, and movement science. Hailed as offering a pioneering and paradigm-shifting perspective on exercise, this book: - Explains how movement works right down to the cellular level. - Examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter-gatherer's life and the movements in a convenience-riddled lifestyle. - Discusses the issues with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet. - Contains a three-level movement program to help those of all strengths and fitness levels transition to a movement-rich lifestyle. Move Your DNA contains corrective exercises, habit modifications, and simple lifestyle changes to free ourselves from the diseases of affluence and discover our naturally healthy, reflex-driven selves. The "movement is not optional" argument is so convincing, this audiobook was designed to be listened to while walking, each chapter listing the mileage for that section. An average walker will complete 20 miles while listening!.
